About me: Yes, the rumour is true, I was raised by a gang of wild leprechauns in the hills of the emerald isle (Dublin – to be exact). They taught me well. How to appreciate good music & literature. And also how to use the gift of the gab to charm my way into peoples lives, it still works to this day ! Fourteen years ago I decided to try my Irish charms in a ‘foreign land’ and ended up settling among the wonderful Geordies. They are a great bunch, and have helped me in so many ways. I advise all of you to taste the hospitality of the Geordies for yourself…..(but don’t tell the leprechauns).

Who I'd like to meet: I love the fine art of conversation and will stop complete strangers for a chat...I even have scars and black eyes to prove it ! If you have a good sense of humour, varied musical interests and also a weakness for the black stuff (Guinness) I would love to hear from you :-]
Hey Paul, Sorry for the extremely late response. If you read this blog I just posted, it kinda explains it. Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you like the songs. How you been? S
I’ve uploaded a couple of new songs to my page. They’re some demo recordings from “The Attic Tapes” sessions I recently finished. The new songs are called “Mercy Please” & “Nowhere (Just a Little Bit).” I really hope you like them..keep in mind that they’re just demos though, and let me know what you think. Yours, Saul
Hi there. Colin Murnane has just finished his documentary entitled "The Song For The Year", telling the story of my parlour tour and the recording of the Boy To Be With album. To order your copy, click on the image
